Obamas finally settle on a dog ....
Obamas finally settle on a dog
Our long national nightmare is over. The Obamas have finally properly accessorized the White House, with the help of Ted Kennedy: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...69dCAD97GU7780
The first family has settled on a first pet — a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog that the Obama girls are naming Bo.
The selection was one of the White House’s most tightly kept secrets.
President Barack Obama’s daughters, 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha, picked a black and white pup, a White House official speaking on the condition of anonymity told The Associated Press Saturday night.
The dog is a gift from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., who owns several Portuguese water dogs himself.
I am glad the girls finally have their pup !

I haven't seen a picture of it, but heard it was a designer puppy.
As long as the animal is taken care of and not abused or neglected, I think it's great.
2 days from now, tomorrow will be yesterday.

The Portuguese Water Dog, colloquially known as a Portie, is a water spaniel breed of gun dog. Portuguese Water Dogs once existed all along Portugal's coast, where they were taught to herd fish into fishermen's nets, to retrieve lost tackle or broken nets, and to act as couriers from ship to ship, or ship to shore. Portuguese Water Dogs rode in bobbing fishing trawlers as they worked their way from the cold Atlantic waters of Portugal to the frigid fishing waters off the coast of Iceland where the fleets caught cod to bring home. [1]
In Portugal, the breed is called Cão d'Água (pronounced Kown-d'Ahgwa; literally "water dog"). In its native land, the dog is also known as the Portuguese Fishing Dog (Cão Pescador Português). Cão de Água de Pêlo Ondulado is the name given the wavy-haired variety, and Cão de Água de Pêlo Encaracolado is the name for the curly-coated variety. [2]
The Portuguese Water Dog is a fairly rare breed; only 15 entrants for Portuguese Water Dogs were made to England's Crufts competition in 2002. Though some breeders claim they are a hypoallergenic dog breed, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim [3][4]. However, their non-shedding qualities have made them more popular in recent years; most notably, the family of United States President Barack Obama selected a PWD ("Bo") for a First Pet to accommodate daughter Malia Obama's allergies.[5]
Doesn't sound like a designer pup to me.
I highly doubt the dog will be abused.
